Actually, the iconography she's invoking here is one of some imagined Ladies Who Lunch society of the olden days, complete with fainting couches (for the vapors, don'tyaknow) and pearl clutching. In some quarters, it's a common way to refer to the Washington Media Villagers who can handle torture, lies leading to war, and other atrocities, but INCIVILITY?!! Oh, my, I do feel a spell coming on!

I've got your back, Will. See, from my point of view, the Iran situation looks like this: one mullah-approved bureaucrat has been deprived of his rightful victory by another mullah-approved bureaucrat. Let us strike a mighty blow for democracy by supporting the better of two mullah-approved bureaucrats.

Wait, what?

I don't understand why anyone outside of Iran cares about this. My guess is: they think the theocratic Islamic Republic itself is being protested and is in danger of being overthrown, and they are responding accordingly, yet inappropriately.

Maybe I'm just being contrarian, too! I'd better find some green to show that I support the correct mullah-approved bureaucrat!
